Love the idea! A few suggestions though:

• The tutorial/intro is very intrusive. Ideally you should just let the user get started – the UI is intuitive and doesn't need much explanation. Help pages or instructions should be optional instead of forced; or at least you should be able to dismiss/skip them quickly.

• Allow users to browse the content without signing in; I want to see what the product is and how it works before I give you my email address and information.

• Don't ask permission for push notifications until later; initially I don't know what they're for and why I'd want them from your app. [1]

But it's a great app overall. Also noticed you're from U of T Engineering -- I'm in ECE1T6, so hi! :)
